Abstract:
Frequency and impulse response characteristics of multilayered ultrasonic transducers comprising forward films of vinylidene fluoride and trifluoroethylene copolymer (P(VDF-TrFE)) and backward ferroelectric ceramic plates of lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) and a backing load, are studied both theoretically and experimentally. These transducers can be driven in three operation modes: (1) P(VDF-TrFE) as a transmitter and a receiver, (2) PZT as a transmitter and a receiver, and (3) PZT as a transmitter and P(VDF-TrFE) as a receiver. It is found that, owing to the great difference in their acoustic and dielectric properties, PZT plates and P(VDF-TrFE) films operate independently at different frequencies, and that, in operation mode (3), the multilayered transducers exhibit broad frequency bandwidth or shorter impulse response characteristics with high sensitivity and high S / N ratio.
